Regardless, the redhead smiled at him and waved. Yes, yes, they didn't bite. Well, except Alice. That was kind of the whole point of her nickname.

"Nice to meet you, Zeke." Penelope smiled. "I'm Penelope." Nothing great, but that's who she was, yup.
Waving back at the Head Girl whose name he still did not know, Zeke listened to the conversations all around him. Not really eavesdropping, but just observing everything 'cause he liked being an observer instead of being a part of something. Just blend in the background and watch from afar the lives of people. Okay, that just sounds like a stalker. Anyway...
His eyes wandered at the foodless table in front of him.
"Nice to meet you too, Penelope," he absentmindedly said, half-heartedly because his heart was beating for food. HE NEEDED TO EAT NOW. He could hear his heart beating.
LUB DUB...LUB DUB...FOOD...LUB DUB...LUBDUBLUBDUB...LUBFOODDUB...
DIVERT. ATTENTION. He looked up back at Penelope.
"Nice to meet you, too, Penelope," okay this was sounding like a broken record but at least now he really meant it. And later on his eyes wandered around and spotted some cookies from the girl. It was meant for someone else, but his eyes screamed for it. Hearing the words, "Eat and be happy" from the Gryffindor made his inner lion growl. But really that was just his stomach complaining.
No Zeke. You have to wait. Go to your nothing box and wait, mister.
